   CheckThePoo posted a topic in New Nurse

   I currently already work at the hospital but am still a student. I'll be graduating in May. I've been warned by several nurses (on different units) to NOT go to work at this particular hospital on their med-surg unit. They said that the unit is awful...

3. ADN/Magnet Hospitals/Ability to Find Work in the Metroplex

   CheckThePoo replied to HeyHeyitsMaay's topic in Texas

   Many area hospitals are avoiding ADN nurses. I personally heard from a nurse hiring manager from a THR hospital that they are already being discouraged to hire ADN - but it's not a set-in-stone policy just yet. Others I've talked to have said they w...

6. "Nurses Are So Mean"

   CheckThePoo replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   Well, and this is why I find this thread ironic. How can you expect someone to excuse rude behavior based on the argument that nurses may have just been having a bad day, yet not be expected to show the same restraint in your own rude behavior? After...

7. "Nurses Are So Mean"

   CheckThePoo replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   this is true, and i realize this. i know that there are "sour" people everywhere, in all fields. however, and i can only speak for myself, i've encountered rude nurses far more frequently than nice nurses (towards students as a whole). it's a little ...

8. "Nurses Are So Mean"

   CheckThePoo replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   Wow there sure must be a lot of nurses out there who are just "having a bad day." Do most nurses get cheated on, lose their dogs, have a car accident, and have leaky pipes around the same time? Because as a student, I've had bad interactions with nur...
